It feels so disjointed this season. I have no clear understanding of the story arc this season. I had thought that it would be Din’s redemption journey but that was wrapped up in the second episode. That was a fun episode but I have no idea why they had the whole need to rebuild IG-11 in the first episode then dropped that plot point altogether. But I guess the pirates were supposed to be the focus? Although they were quickly dealt with in the most recent episode.
Episode 3 was a poor Andor-esque glimpse into the issues of the New Republic. It just felt jarring and hasn’t really flowed with the next few episodes.
There have been a couple of fun episodes but overall I’m starting to lose interest.
Andor has spoiled me when it comes to dialogue and storytelling. I don’t care about perfect sets or bad CGI, but give me actual dialogue between characters. Repeating “This is the way” multiple times doesn’t cut it.
Exposition is fine, but I’m not feeling any character motivations or any sense of urgency or tension from any of the characters.
I could go on, but in the end it doesn’t matter. The Mandalorian gets higher ratings than Andor did, so there is no motivation for Disney to make any changes.
I watched the entire series just to complete it. I found the music choices and dialogue a bit jarring, and felt the story line could have been more coherent.
The original movie was a fun little adventure and the series tried to emulate that tone but fell short, but that’s just my take.
It wasn’t for me but the Willow subreddit sure loved it.
